Fox Renews New Girl, Raising Hope & Glee

Is it just me, or has New Girl lost it's way? It just doesn't seem funny to me anymore. It used to be one of my favorite shows too.
Part of it is the inclusion of Damon Wayans Jr in the cast. Not sure why they had to add his character to the mix, but I often find myself just skipping over his scenes.

Which is really boring and uninteresting and handicaps the madcap escapades they could be having.

I don't think I'd go so far as to call it those things, but I agree that the show took a turn with this plotline. For stretches of season 2, it was surely the funniest comedy on TV. Now it seldom hits those highs (although it's still enjoyable).

Yes, I had this exact thought. Was a favorite; just not loving it very much any more.

Winston's character is really good, but is further minimized with Wayans' addition. He's disrupted the chemistry, as has the Jess and Nick relationship.

Glad Raising Hope is coming back. Thought Friday would be the death of it, glad it isn't.

It's probably not as has been mentioned. Donbadabon bumped this from 2012 to comment on New Girl. Probably should have started another thread to avoid confusion with the thread title containing old and no longer accurate news.
